LITERARY REVIEW. COLONEL JOIINSON'S JOITRNEY OVERLAND PROM C\DIA TO ENGLAND, Quarto. NVe are gratified to discover, in Lieut. Col. JouNsoN's Journey from India to England, through Persia, Georgia, Russia, and Prussia, a most agreeable supplement to Mr. i\olo compendious volume. 1t is 'always. -a pleasing eiectonstance twO indi , ideals , absolutely • ilarliiiidjtit of eacii other, and without either previous or subsequent communication, by coin eirlence of remark or sympathy in sentiment, not rally offer strong confirmation; but even silo `ti sa tisfactory arions of their respective state .llletllS. It: reflects credit on the sagacity of'Col. Jon csoN,' that iu the rapid and crirsory glance, which he was permiterl to take of the country in ,whichr.Mr. Iliad:: had resided several years, he should, Fe) many instatiets, leave received impres sions and adopted. opinions exactly coin cide tirith.ttie. results of Mou ett's• experietree. Th tie the analogy between the customs and habits of living . society with those entitled to in the' Sacred Wiitings., so ably elucidated by Mr. Mo 'wig, did not escape the observation of Colonel . Jolt NsoN, who, in describing the modes of tra velling among the poorer people of Persia, re marks, " t,mse habits al e.obviolsly derived from the ages of patrisirchal simplkity ; the repose in the open air, the preparation of bread, the lii snr•ely journeying, and a vatiety of subordinate ircutustain es, associate intimitely with the no tions that we gather limn Scripture of a \vaylar log life ; and I per.laps (roan some of these solitary polities in the wilds of abia or Persia a painter might derive many ilitesting materials ,for 'the rompositi , n of a Flight into Egypt." Col. JOHN SON travelled firm Bushire with as much etletity as was compatible with the design of seeing every object of curiosity or interest that the country siforded. In visiting the ruins of Shapour, lie was so singularly fortunate as to discover the prostrate colossal statue, so often the subject of erudite dis quisition and vague speculation. " Having entered the cave. I went to the . statue, and after examining it, lay down on its pedestal, and hating paid a wan to go fora tea-pot and some bread, I soon after refreshed wyself with tea, the water being procured at a distance of about 400 feet, within the dark part of the cave. When first brought it was so cold as to pain my teeth in drinking it, but sufficiently quenched my thirst. I then forced myself to drink kOt tea, without milk, but could not take the least quantity sfiolid food. After I had finished nay sketch of the statue, a ldrge bundle ofdry grass, and another of wood, were brought, and my conipani,ns told me, that I should not have seen any thing worth notice if I departed, without exploring the cave witirAights, which they affirmed had never yet been com pletely done by any person. One set of men, they oh served, had come with many maunds of oil and moisailk but t'eey did not see all the cavities." Colonel Jainism./ observed at Shiraz and other parts of l'eisia nneptivocal symptoms of decay, the result of that flagitious profligacy which des potism must ultimately produce. The Persians ere not like the 'ranks, dull, slothful, and obtuse; they have still some sensibility for poetry, and testify respect, and even veneration, for the fa voured Bards who have acquired immortality. Colonel JOHNsoN visited the tomb of Hartz, and saw the stutnp of the cypress tree which he is be lieved to have planted 455 years ago. A copy of his works is always laid on his tomb for the in spection of visi , ors ; and the Contents of the chapter which happens to appear, are supposed to foretel the fate of the person for•whom the ce remony is performed. The passages thus deve loped are generally susceptible of a favourable interpretation. HAFIZ was a Soft, and conse quently an adept in that ambiguous style of com position. " It is impossible for words to depict the utter misery of the 'Persian poor,•or labouring class of people, in their domestic condition. The walls and r:)ofs of their habitations are of xnud, which, in consequence of the severity of the climate, are, it is true, more substantial than those of the same kind of dwellings in India, but the interior is much more filthy, for the Indian people, and the women in particular, pay great attention to cleanliness. Here, however, as among that peo ple, and the lower classes in Ireland, the cow, calf, dog, fowls, swallows, mice, cat, all harbour in the same hovel, and live together with its tenants. The thickness of the mud walls in the Persian huts, may be said to augment their interior accommodations, by allowing niches and cavities to he formed for varions uses. SOffilt of these, having a stone ledge in front, are made so high as to serve for rack and manger; there is a space above for grass, and another below for grain and chopped straw. - About eighteen inches beneath there is a bole with a stick across, to whi,!li the cattle's head-ropes are tied. Similar niches fur securing cattle are generally made at a regular distance of about five feet, all along the interior side of any enclosure wall, by which the court or area belong ing to the house is boundtd ; and they are very useful, as they prevent the forage from being trampled upon, and afford th e means o f !wiring the cattle secure and within sight."

IFrom an American Paper 1 'There are.thimerous contradictory speculations in the Aurora, avid other Papers, on the existing affairs of Spain with the United States. Well in formed men in Washington mite, that there will be no war between the two Countries.—On the contrary, that the Spanish Minisrer is authorised and instructed to make the best treaty of ACCOM modatum he can for the' preservation of peace.— Every one knows that the policy of the Allied So- vereigns is Peace---a long Peace —to enable.

That ;f Spain tvill go to war with the United States, on account of the Floridas, spoliation'', or any other trifling cause,' the most tight single - - handed. Knowing this, and knowing further that she cannot•cope with the United States, nor have the smallest chance of preserving any of her Colonies, in case •of war, we hare no doubt that Spain has ere this given orders to her Minister in Ameri ca to propose a 'Frew y for the accommoda tion • of all subjects in controversy between the t Coun't ies ;—acrd it no better terms can he obtained, to relinquish all the conquests we have made in the Boridas, and to cede the balance of these provinces to the United States, demandiog,!at the same time, some remuneration in cash---part of which the citizens of the United States may receive as indemnification for the spolia. lions on their property. The poverty and weakness of Spain must,esethink, compel her to theie offers. It remains to be seen, whether the magnanimity of the United States will demand so much froth a prostrate power.

" VsENNA, JULY 30.—1 t is understood that Ge neral the Count de Czernichef is appointed Am bassador from Russia to our Court, and that he will have his audience of reception aLer the re turn of the Sovereigns from Aix la-Chalitile." The remainder of the Memorial of the Royalists is. iven this dale .t) try which u‘st communicated to the British 'We have read the conclusion with attention, and our opinion of the whole is not altered a jot. It is a mere common-place expedient to effect a change of Ministry, written with .some skin, in order to compass that object, but fraught with inconsistencies, contradictions, artd:ab surdities altogether. By w a y o f cov e ring their purpose these Royalists pretend to say, that " they asked neither for places nor -honours, and rejected all such conditions, when they Were . held out to them." How then wall the nation- to be conducted if .they rejected all offices ? Wily by their tools, to be sure, and then they would attempt by degrees totally to change the present order of things, and endanger a- new I:evolution. They say also " they will never court the mast laborious post beneath a hurthen, the weight of which they know too well." • lVlio-then, we re- peat, were to conduct State affairs but their niMions—and then bow do they slim their boast, eel disinterestedness in declining office ? They ' modestly affirm ; that they are " the only persons who can save the Country, the wily persons who can support the Throne, and preserve inviolable the privileges acquired by the People." Modest Patriots ! and yet, though they boast that they amount in number to many millions, yet they have no influence over the people, for whose privileges they profess to be so anxious. They confidently ask what would have been the situation of France and Europe at the present day, if theybad for the last three years directed the affairs of their country? Why,. that they would have treated all employed under the revolutionary Government with horror, and have provoked them into such measures as would probably have embroiled all Europe once more in confusiou and danger. In one place they apostrophize the King, and pour plentiful abuse upon his Ministers ; yet, in another, they say, "who can understand better than he, that Europe cannot better preserve itself from a revolution reviving in France, than by stifling it in the bosom of France, in which it lies hid." If the KING is so wise and so knowing, which we doubt not, why then do they officiously intrude their advice upon bitn. But, as the phrase is, they " let the cat out of the bag ;" for while they pretend to wish.for.the removal of the. Allied troops front France, they declare, " that the first duty of the Allies is to guarantee, themselves against this terrible invasion," and " that they hate the right of inquiring by what means they may prevent this revolutionary movement which they see made in France." And how are the Allies to have the power of enforcing that inquiry, unless dick troops remain in the country, even admitting such a right, at a time when the country is tranquil ? In short, this boasted Memorial is but the Mani festo of a Patty , who, if they were really offered, as they pretend, admission into places and ho nours, repent that they declined them, and are now Joint all they can to obtain power, in order to emp'oy it in rash experiments for an unattainable restoration of former authority. It is rumourell in the political circles of Ire hind, and of course the. report has naturally reached those of this metropolis, that the tosig nation of Mr. Pim. is not• unconnected with the CATHOLIC QnitsTioN. As far as we have beard, but we are not , much ineliued.to give credit to the rliniotir, there is a l l int e ntion to revive !hits siihject in PiOhOottit, and we have also heard that Patti batl . rectived ttn iulituation that it would be • Ti ,ei reu In _ lig that , bee 4 'of le 4g a i r but Pre s( 41 310 .b e Pr /30111 11() It " p Ilk I r. ti t) h 0 t3 tA as Per P r " +to rn : ft err • lir e Il t t Lti 1 , 1 141 C bl ,et ‘, inf or A ti, li t hat eztra, s ci)e ( lfli tn ht 4, ..
